| 3.2.3 | The transport of VLANs across backbones
Important to any VLAN architecture is the ability to transport VLAN information between interconnected switches and routers that reside on the corporate backbone. These transport capabilities: remove the physical boundaries between users increase the configuration flexibility of a VLAN solution when users move provide mechanisms for interoperability between backbone system components. The backbone commonly acts as the collection point for large volumes of traffic. It also carries end-user VLAN information and identification between switches, routers, and directly attached servers. Within the backbone, high-bandwidth, high-capacity links are typically chosen to carry the traffic throughout the enterprise.
